DAEMON reported Progress.speed_bps reading 0 for the whole life of a live
throttled download while downloaded bytes visibly advanced. DAEMON reads
progress by polling DownloadHandle::progress() (engine_port_core.hpp), not
the on_progress push callback.
DownloadTaskState::snapshot_progress() -- the body behind progress() -- never
set speed_bps, per-segment speed_bps, or eta_seconds at all; only the
event-driven emit_progress_if_due() (which drives the on_progress callback)
computed them, from the same live SegWorker::speed_bps EMA seg_data()
maintains. snapshot_progress() now reads that same per-worker speed while
building its segment list, so a segment with no live worker (idle, paused,
complete, failed) correctly reports 0 and a segment with an active transfer
reports its real EMA, matching emit_progress_if_due()'s math including the
eta_seconds derivation.
engine_polled_progress_reports_nonzero_speed reproduces the bug (fails
without the fix, confirmed) by polling .progress() -- the same path DAEMON
uses -- during a throttled download and asserting speed_bps > 0 once real
progress has accumulated.

Pure functions only, per AGENT-CORE.md's build order: no I/O, no JSON, no SQL,
no notion of the wire Rule type — DAEMON decodes its own stored/wire
representation into these plain structs and calls in.
- rules/filename.hpp: sanitize_filename() turns a raw candidate (from
net::parse_content_disposition or net::url_filename — neither is
filesystem-safe by design; both headers say so and point here) into one
safe to create on ext4/APFS/NTFS: strips separators and control bytes,
folds NTFS-illegal characters, neutralizes reserved Windows device names,
clamps length on a UTF-8 boundary. Total on hostile input; never empty.
Not the path-traversal security boundary — that's daemon/fs/safepath,
downstream of this and the one that actually matters adversarially.
- rules/collision.hpp: resolve_collision() finds the next free name
Explorer/Finder-style ("name (1).ext", ...) given an existence predicate,
or returns the desired name unchanged under an overwrite policy. Never
fabricates a guaranteed-unique name past its attempt bound — hands back
the last candidate tried rather than hiding a persistent collision.
- rules/match.hpp: match_rules() is the evaluation half of
contracts/schema/types/Rule.schema.json — priority order, first rule
whose present match clauses (extensions/mimeTypes/host & url glob/size
bounds) all hold, wins; a size clause never matches speculatively before
the probe fills in size_bytes. glob_match() is the iterative (not
recursive — bounded work on an all-'*' pattern) matcher both host_pattern
and url_pattern use.
Every header compiles standalone; tests (39 cases) pass under ASan+UBSan and
TSan. core/include/vdm/README.md documents the new public surface.

Resumes work left mid-session on the M1 hostile-mode matrix. download_task.cpp:
- Replace the old cancel-then-clear teardown (cancel_all_transfers_locked /
start_assembly_locked) with a single begin_drain_locked()/PendingAction
mechanism: cancel every live worker, remember what to do (verify / fail /
auto_pause / demote), and let whichever worker's seg_finished finds the
worker map empty carry it out. Every sibling still flushes its buffer on
the way out, so no buffered-but-unflushed tail is lost when a download
finishes or fails while other segments are still mid-transfer.
- A 200 where 206 was expected (wrong_status) now checks the response's
ETag/Last-Modified against the probe's: a real mismatch asks the user
(server_file_changed, "ask, never silently corrupt" -- docs/04 §5); a match
means the server just stopped honouring Range for this connection, so
demote to one segment and keep going without a round trip (docs/04 §7).
- 416 mid-download (stale range metadata) now surfaces as a decision instead
of retrying the same now-invalid range to exhaustion.
- do_decide's abort path surfaces the actual reason a decision was asked
for (last_error) instead of hardcoding server_file_changed, which was
mislabeling a 416 abort.
engine_test.cpp adds the four hostile modes where a bug means silent
corruption rather than a visible failure: etag-changes, 416-always,
lies-about-accept-ranges, content-length-mismatch.

Stage 8 of the CORE build order: the bodies behind the DownloadSpec /
callback API reviewed in core/docs/engine-api-m1.md. Wires probe -> segment
workers -> WriteBuffer -> SparseFile -> .veloxpart.meta -> retry/backoff ->
SegmentBudget -> RateLimiter -> callbacks into one event-driven machine.
- Engine (src/engine.cpp): owns HttpClient, Prober, SegmentBudget,
RateLimiter and one timer jthread (min-heap of scheduled fns). start()
builds a task and returns a DownloadHandle; ~Impl quiesces every task
before joining the timer so no callback fires during teardown.
- DownloadTaskState (src/task/download_task.cpp): one `mu` task lock; a
shared_mutex over the worker map for the curl write path; callbacks
collected under `mu` and fired after release via a separate deferred
queue; weak_from_this() in every async hop. State machine over the
CORE-owned EngineState subset, auto-pause on 401/407 and on a 200 where
206 was expected, validated resume via If-Range.
- digest (src/task/digest.cpp): OpenSSL EVP hash_file() for the optional
post-download checksum; links OpenSSL::Crypto PRIVATE.
- Segmenter::release_segment(): hand a paused segment back to the pool
unassigned so resume's assign_slot() picks it up instead of splitting a
still-"assigned" range and orphaning its front half.
- DownloadHandle now names the real control block (vdm::task::
DownloadTaskState, defined only in the engine TU) via a namespace-scope
fwd decl and a public-but-effectively-engine-only ctor, replacing the
nested State/friend pair. Every public signature is unchanged; DAEMON
(vdm-79) confirmed sched/ names only the public API.
Fixes found while building the end-to-end suite (tests/task/engine_test.cpp,
9 cases against tools/testserver, green under ASan/UBSan and TSan):
- a dropped connection lost its unflushed WriteBuffer tail while advance()
had already counted those bytes as done -> a retry resumed past an
unwritten hole. Flush on the failure path.
- when the byte counters hit total while other workers were still live,
teardown dropped their buffered tails. Now: cancel them and let each
worker's own seg_finished drain it (the `assembling` state), last one
starts verification -- no cross-thread buffer access.
- seg_head() let a 401 with credentials present abort before libcurl's
resend; now it proceeds once and acts on the final status.

run_all() takes an optional substring list; vtest_main forwards argv and a
comma-separated $VT_ONLY. No filter => run everything, as before. Makes
iterating on one slow end-to-end case (the engine suite) practical
without a framework swap.

DAEMON's safepath-adversarial.md accepts a TOCTOU residual between its
canonicalise-and-check and the download starting, on the stated grounds
that CORE's O_NOFOLLOW open of the final file closes it. That flag was
never actually set: SparseFile::open used O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_CLOEXEC, so
a symlink swapped in as the final path component after DAEMON's check
would be followed and redirect our pwrites outside the allowed roots.
Add O_NOFOLLOW. A symlinked leaf now fails the open with ELOOP, which
errno_to_error already maps to Error::path_rejected. Regular files and
the O_CREAT of a fresh part file are unaffected; resume (existing regular
part file) is unaffected. Test that a symlinked destination is rejected
rather than silently followed, and that the link target is never touched.

rate/token_bucket.hpp — a lazily-refilled TokenBucket (starts full: burst
then throttle, IDM behaviour; rate 0 == unlimited; burst caps idle
accumulation) and RateLimiter, the global -> per-queue -> per-task
hierarchy (docs/04 §6). acquire(task, n) peeks every applicable level and
commits on all-or-none so a blocked attempt never leaks tokens at a level
that had them; held under one mutex so a concurrent detach can't dangle
the bucket it's using. vdm/ids.hpp gains QueueId.
Tests: burst/refill/cap/unlimited for the bucket; tightest-level-binds,
no-partial-consumption, detach-safety, and an 8-thread aggregate-rate
check for the hierarchy. Green under ASan/UBSan and TSan.
Engine-API review (DAEMON signed off, no sched/ or dispatch rewrite):
- Engine::rate_limiter() accessor added (limiter.set -> set_global_limit).
- Checksum::Algo gains sha512 to match the wire Checksum set.
- DownloadSpec: DAEMON creates save_path's parent dir before start();
missing dir -> Error::path_rejected (made explicit).
- cancel(): documented to fire on_state(_, cancelled, nullopt) then
on_finished(Err{canceled}), in that order; download.cancel ==
cancel(false), download.remove == cancel(true).
- engine-api-m1.md: the five open questions resolved with DAEMON's
answers (probe_hint optional, single cancel flag, {restart,
keep_partial, abort} is the whole set, per-task 4 Hz is fine,
refresh_url restarts all segments after a validating re-probe).

The download entry point the AGENT-CORE brief asked for on day one and
that slipped. DAEMON has an RPC surface and a store and, until this is
agreed, nothing in velox::core to call.
vdm/task/download.hpp — DownloadSpec (the resolved subset DAEMON hands in:
absolute save_path, verbatim browser headers, requested segments/buffer,
optional probe_hint / checksum / auth, allow_resume), EngineState (the
CORE-owned subset of the wire TaskState), Progress / SegmentProgress,
DownloadCallbacks (on_progress <=4 Hz, on_state for every transition
incl. auto-pauses, on_auth_required, on_decision_needed, on_finished
last), DownloadHandle (pause/resume/cancel — idempotent per the ADR 0013
signature — plus provide_auth / decide / refresh_url, and synchronous
state()/progress() snapshots).
vdm/engine.hpp — Engine: start(spec, callbacks) -> handle, segment_budget()
(DAEMON's sched/ admission surface, ADR 0011), live connection.* setters,
a standalone probe() on the pool outside the segment budget.
core/docs/engine-api-m1.md — the review doc: field semantics, the state
machine, threading/lifetime rules (which thread callbacks arrive on, what
is legal from inside one, handle/engine lifetime), the shared-`paused`
idempotency contract as a signature, and five open questions for DAEMON.
Value types compile and are covered by api_compiles_test; Engine /
DownloadHandle bodies land in stage 8, built against whatever DAEMON
signs off here.

vdm/ids.hpp — TaskId, an opaque engine handle (DAEMON keeps the wire
UUID <-> TaskId map; the engine never sees the UUID).
segment/segmenter — per-download range management (docs/04 §3). Initial
lazy split; assign_slot() splits the largest remaining range when the
budget grants a slot; on_complete(may_steal) either *steals* the second
half of the largest remaining range for the same worker (slot-neutral) or
returns nullopt so the caller *yields* the slot (ADR 0011 A1); on_failed()
returns requeue only on the 3rd consecutive connection error with a mirror
present — the remaining range is orphaned and re-split. Non-resumable or
unknown-size => exactly 1 segment; never split below min_segment_bytes
(1 MiB). Resume ctor rebuilds from a persisted table (falls back to a
fresh layout if it doesn't tile [0,total)). One mutex == "the task lock";
segment fields are std::atomic and the store is a std::deque so a steal's
append never moves a worker's record.
segment/budget — the global allocator (ADR 0011). Owns exactly one
ceiling (maxActiveSegments) and min-1-before-seconds fairness: a two-pass
allocation (guarantee pass gives every wanting task 1 slot in DAEMON's
priority order, then a growth pass round-robins the rest up to each
task's effective cap = min(per_task_cap, host cap, 1 if non-resumable)),
recomputed from scratch on every edge so a live set_max_active_segments
cut naturally yields the excess lowest-priority-first, never a
mid-segment kill. DAEMON-facing surface exactly as promised in
daemon/docs/core-requests-m1.md / ADR 0011: budget(), segments_active(),
starved_tasks(), starved_since(), set_max_active_segments (drain),
set_host_segment_cap, set_task_order, on_budget_changed (a jthread
coalesces at <=4 Hz; the tasks_starved 0<->nonzero edge fires
immediately). Callbacks are copied out and run after the lock is
dropped.
Tests: segmenter split/steal/requeue/resume math + a concurrent
steal-and-advance run; budget min-1 under a tight budget, round-robin
growth, host-cap and non-resumable clamps, live-lower shedding
lowest-priority-first, starvation below the task count, starved-edge
notification, and a concurrent set_want hammer. Green under ASan/UBSan;
the steal path and the budget green under TSan.

util/crc32.hpp — header-only CRC-32 (zlib polynomial, reflected), used to
integrity-check the sidecar.
meta/veloxpart — the <name>.veloxpart.meta resume file (docs/04 §5).
Little-endian, versioned, CRC-32 over the whole record. Layout: magic,
version, flags, total_size, downloaded, url set (original/effective/
mirrors), etag/last-modified/content-type, segment records (start, end
INCLUSIVE, completed), optional sha256 streaming-hash blob.
parse_veloxpart() is the attacker-facing surface (the file sits in a
world-writable-ish download dir) and is total on any byte string: CRC
checked before any field is interpreted; magic, a version it understands,
every count and length bounded by a hard cap AND checked against the
remaining buffer; ByteReader latches on overrun; trailing bytes rejected.
Every malformation is meta_corrupt / meta_version_unsupported, never a
crash or an unbounded allocation. serialize_veloxpart() is deterministic
(unchanged sidecar isn't rewritten). File helpers write atomically
(temp + rename) and fdatasync the file and its directory.
Tests: crc32 known vector; full + minimal round-trips; deterministic
serialize; file round-trip; and a truncation/corruption table — bad
magic, CRC mismatch (payload and CRC-field flips), future version,
truncation at every stage, hostile url_count / segment_count / lp_string
length (the case the brief singles out), trailing bytes, impossible
segment.completed.
tools/fuzz/fuzz_veloxpart — feeds raw bytes and bytes-with-valid-CRC
(so the field parser and ByteReader bounds checks are actually reached),
and round-trip-stability-checks anything accepted. Ran 1.1M execs clean
under ASan+UBSan+libFuzzer (clang++-21); fuzz_content_disposition and
fuzz_url likewise re-run to 1.1M. tools/fuzz gains a -runs=0 seed-replay
CTest smoke per target (regression tripwire; the campaign stays manual).
Fuzz-found and fixed: parse_content_disposition could emit a filename
containing NUL / control bytes from a mangled filename* ext-value —
strip_path only removed path separators. Now sanitize_leaf() also drops
C0 controls and DEL (rules/ still owns the authoritative sanitize; `..`
and printable-unsafe content pass through as before).

io/sparse_file — the single O_WRONLY output file (docs/04 §4). open()
posix_fallocate's the full size (falls back to ftruncate on
EOPNOTSUPP/ENOSYS, reported via preallocated()); write_at() pwrites at an
absolute offset, looping short writes and retrying EINTR; sync() is
fdatasync (timer/pause only); advise_dontneed() is
posix_fadvise(DONTNEED); resize() trims a preallocated tail or sizes a
chunked download. errno -> vdm::Error (ENOSPC->disk_full,
EACCES->permission_denied, ENOENT/ENOTDIR/...->path_rejected). No lock on
write_at — POSIX makes each pwrite atomic for a regular file, so N
segment threads writing disjoint ranges is safe (tested, TSan-clean).
io/write_buffer — per-segment accumulate-and-flush buffer, preallocated
at construction; append() only memcpys (no allocation on the write-
callback hot path, docs/04 §8 — asserted by a global-new counter in the
test). Flushes on fill via a caller-supplied FlushFn; a chunk >= capacity
arriving on an empty buffer writes straight through. On a flush error
next_offset() stays at the last durable position. Single-threaded; the
disk-writer-thread handoff is stage 8.
Also: vtest.hpp VT_CHECK_EQ/NE now copy operands (auto, not auto&&) — an
assertion must not outlive a temporary the expression returned a
reference into (ASan caught this on Result<void>{}.error().code).

net/content_disposition — total parser for the mojibake-prone header:
RFC 6266 filename (quoted/token), RFC 5987 filename* ext-values
(charset'lang'pct-encoded, incl. RFC 2231 continuations), legacy RFC 2047
encoded-words (=?UTF-8?B?..?= / ?Q?), and raw Latin-1 bytes; prefers
filename* over filename; strips path components AFTER decoding (a base64
payload can hold '/'). 22-case test table.
net/text_codec (internal) — percent-decode, UTF-8 validation, Latin-1->
UTF-8, base64, RFC 2047 — shared by the CD parser and the URL splitter.
net/url — a small total URL splitter (scheme/userinfo/host/port/path/
query/fragment, http(s) validity) and url_filename() for the last path
segment; used for the filename fallback.
net/probe — HEAD then a ranged GET bytes=0-0 that PROVES resumability
(206 + matching Content-Range + a validator), rather than trusting
Accept-Ranges which servers lie about; the ranged GET is also the HEAD-
refused (403/405/501) fallback. 401/407 -> success result with
requires_auth, not an error. Runs on its own pool (max_concurrent,
default 4) outside the segment budget per ADR 0011 §5. suggest_filename()
does the resolution order (explicit -> disposition -> URL -> download.bin)
with a light strip; rules/ (stage 9) owns the authoritative sanitize.
tools/fuzz — libFuzzer targets for the CD parser and the URL splitter,
compiling the parser sources directly so they're fully instrumented;
self-guards on VELOX_BUILD_FUZZ + Clang (the top-level CMake adds every
tools/* unconditionally). Seed corpora included.
Fixed on the way: a p -> Transfer -> State -> cbs -> p reference cycle in
Prober that leaked every probe (drop the stored Transfer; the worker
keeps State alive). Tests green under ASan/UBSan and TSan.

One HttpClient owns a small pool of workers, each with its own CURLM; an
easy handle lives on one worker for its life. Public start/pause/resume/
cancel enqueue a command + curl_multi_wakeup(); callbacks (on_head /
on_data / on_finished) run on the worker thread and return a DataAction
(proceed / pause / abort). Covers redirects (final-response head only),
ranges (inclusive ByteRange -> CURLOPT_RANGE), proxy/SOCKS5, basic/digest
auth, cookies, verbatim headers, stall detection, a coarse recv-rate cap,
and a curl_share DNS/TLS cache across workers. CURLcode + HTTP status ->
vdm::Error in net/curl_error. A probe is on_head returning abort: it
finishes successfully (head_complete), not canceled.
Tests drive tools/testserver: full GET, ranged 206, redirect chain, 404
-> not_found, connection refused -> connect_failed, HEAD probe + ranged
0-0 probe (no body), cancel mid-transfer, pause/resume completes. Skip
cleanly if testserver isn't in the tree.

Pure formatting, no behaviour change. PKG landed .clang-format (Google

util/ carries no wire surface, so it lands before the contract freeze.
- error: enum class Error, the engine-wide failure taxonomy; is_retryable
enumerates every value (no default:) so -Wswitch forces the retry
decision on each future addition. ErrorInfo carries context/http_status.
- result: Result<T> over std::expected<T, ErrorInfo>, Result<void>,
VDM_TRY / VDM_TRY_ASSIGN. Errors returned, never thrown, on the
transfer path.
- bytes: span aliases, LE load_le/store_le (debug-asserted precondition,
not input validation), and a bounds-checked latching ByteReader for the
.veloxpart.meta reader.
- event_bus: typed thread-safe pub/sub; header states plainly that
unsubscribe is not a quiesce point and download_task will need its own
drain.
- thread_pool: std::jthread pool; dtor joins in the body before members
die (fixed a use-after-destruction on cv_/mu_). Header notes shutdown is
drain-only and DAEMON will need a cancel mode.
- log: sink interface (core does no I/O); DAEMON installs one.
Tested: -Werror clean, 6 binaries green under plain / ASan+UBSan / TSan.

Self-contained core/CMakeLists.txt (veloxcore STATIC + velox::core alias),
warnings at target scope so the sanitizer presets' CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS override
doesn't drop -Werror. vtest: ~150-line header-only harness (VT_TEST /
VT_CHECK / VT_REQUIRE / VT_CHECK_EQ) behind a one-function vdm_add_test(),

Lays out Velox Download Manager (IDM-class download manager for Ubuntu
26.04) as a monorepo ready for parallel lane development. No implementation
code by design.
- docs/: architecture, roadmap M0-M7, IDM-parity GUI spec, engine design,
Firefox extension spec, risks/spikes, packaging
- contracts/: wire-contract skeleton (JSON Schema + fixture templates) —
the single synchronization point between lanes
- docs/agents/: one brief per lane (PROTO, CORE, DAEMON, GUI, EXT, PKG/QA)
with owned directories, build order and definition of done
- CLAUDE.md: rules of engagement — lane ownership, layering, non-negotiables
- CMake scaffolding with dev/tsan/release/ci presets
Two environment findings shape the design: Firefox here is the Mozilla snap
(native-messaging risk, so the extension carries a loopback-WebSocket
fallback), and Wayland forbids passive clipboard monitoring (so clipboard
capture is explicit-action-first).
